Date formatting for non-military aviation subjects[edit]

When I looked at this article I found dates formatted in two different ways -- two were DD/Month/YYYY and the rest were Month/DD/YYYY. As I have been told that dates must be consistent throughout articles, I corrected the two non-conforming dates to match the rest based on the criteria explained to me by User:Bzuk who wrote to me on September 4 that:

FWiW, I've been consistent, US- US-military (D/M/Y), US-civil (M/D/Y), other nations (Usually D/M/Y). Bzuk (talk) 16:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)."

As the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company was a publicly owned commercial aircraft manufacturer (as are, for instance, Boeing, North American Aviation, and McDonnell Douglas), it is a non-military (ie "civil") US aviation topic and as such by the criteria stated above the correct date format for this article is Month/DD/YYYY which is also the same formatting used in the Boeing, North American Aviation, and McDonnell Douglas articles.

You are correct, my error. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 22:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Wright vs. Curtiss lawsuit?[edit]

I know Orville Wright sued Curtiss over wing warping. Why don't I see that mentioned in the article, possible with a Main Article link? Another place to add such a link would be Wright Aeronautical. Will (Talk - contribs) 02:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
